archival slop

Came up in my "today in" memories...I think it may have been an elavegan stirfry that I just said fuck it and threw whatever I had into it? Green pepper, chickpeas, broccoli, quinoa, mushrooms, and who knows wtf the sauce was lmao

BUT I REMEMBER IT WAS FILLING AND DELICIOUS

Currently on 300mg Bupropion XL and making the switch

Howdy! I am currently on 300 mg Bupropion XL and 20 mg Adderall in the morning, and 100 mg Sertraline and 2 mg Aripiprazole in the evening, and Spravato once every few weeks. Wondering if anyone with that sort of setup has any advice for making the switch from one to the other?

Breakthrough bleeding 🤬

Hey y'all, I (38F) recently restarted birth control after being off for two months, cause I like to give my body a break once every year or two. I take the extended cycle, 84 pills 7 placebos--Simpesse, specifically. I know there is some adjustment period when you start back but I am about to start week 8, and I have been constantly spotting since week 6, so two full weeks now.

My doctor is unconcerned, she says it happens when restarting, but I am at my wits end. It's not enough for a tampon, and I hate the feeling of pads/panty liners grrr.

Has anyone had any luck in stopping, bleeding, then starting back? Specifically with the extended cycle pill!

Cross Contamination?

Hey y'all! I come with questions about the Southwest wrap. Context: former employee, so vaguely know how wraps are made in the morning with the salads etc.

Twice now, I've gone to eat my wrap and it's had bacon in it, but I can't think of another product that would have bacon in that form. The first time it was like a perfect spoonful right in the middle; this time it was a tiny piece towards the end of the wrap.

This is a signature restaurant, Truett's Grill to be specific, so they have an expanded menu. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I did a complaint through the app the first time, and they gave me a free wrap to make up for it, but I could only redeem it on the chicken-y kind, not the veg. I feel bad complaining again and don't want them to think I'm full of crap--I have the piece from today, should I take it in to complain so they can see, or just submit it through the website?

I just can't figure what else would have bacon like that, that would be in the same prep area! Weird weird weird

Is there a hope after Hitachi support group or something?

Basically what the title says. I'm a do it myself kinda girl and for the past 15 years have relied on my Hitachi...but I recently decided to try something new: the Satisfyer 2 Pro. The reviews everywhere were pretty stellar, I had a coupon, yadda yadda yadda. Gets here, I go to break her in that night, starting super low not knowing what to expect.......and nothin. Several reviews said level 3-5 had them squirting! My hopes! They were high! Alas...it just doesn't really do anything for me. I blew way past level 5, probably on level 10 even, and it was just like oh...that feels like a weird tickle.

Have I ruined my sensitivity or something? Am I using the Satisfyer wrong? Inquiring minds, etc. FWIW I also recently upped my anti depressant which I know can definitely affect things, but I was hoping for something

Is this just a fledgling getting their grownup feathers, or is something amiss?

I know these aren't great pics, but what's happening with this little guy? Waiting on big boy feathers or something less savory happening?

Big birb curiosity

Figured I'd give this its own post...a little over a year ago (July 14, 2025) I had the pleasure of an owl visit! She (or he!) was perched on the tree right outside my window, and the hummingbirbs were very curious...caught this little one being curious, and the owl's reaction 🤣 quite literally shrugged the little one off!

(slow-mo at the end so you can see the hummer doesn't actually get touched 😅)

Replacement Best-1?

Hey all, I'm trying to replace an 8oz best-1 feeder that broke, but it seems like everything is 16 or 32 oz now---any suggestions? Or anyone want to sell me some they don't use? For your time, here's BB puffing up to scare some others away from "his" feeder!

Alternatively, has anyone bought a glass bottle that isn't an official Best-1, and tried to make it work?

birb...are u ok?

So one of the several hummingbirds that visit our feeders is a bit of an oddball; its beak is bent and has some noticeable curvature, which makes it have to angle its head differently to get the water. It's an absolute bully, though, and has staked this feeder for itself and only itself. One weird thing it will do is drink from one hole, then pull its beak out and stick it between the perch and the feeder before hopping to the next and repeating the process. Any ideas what's up with this little weirdo?

When s/he gets too aggro, I have a yardstick I tap on the window...you're not the only one that can be scary, little birb!

Costume Jewelry from 50's-80s

Another traysure post...my great aunt (b. 1908) never had her ears pierced and exclusively used clip on earrings, and often had matching brooches. Pictures are all the pearl-based earrings, non-pearl, brooches, a couple of sets, and the last one is a teeny tiny music box that still works!

If any of these jump out at you (besides the sets) I'd love for them to go to a good home :)

Mid to Late 1800s Tintypes

These randomly materialized at my house, no one knows who they are or where they came from, but definitely old school & cool!

PHL--only rents to deplaning customers?

Hi all, reservations wench here (I know, and I'm so sorry) wanting to check the accuracy of that statement...anytime we book for PHL it pops up "this location serves deplaning passengers only," but I was wondering how hard and fast that rule is? I know locals would definitely have the deposit since no return itinerary, but are they truly not allowed?

Thanks for any insight y'all can provide!

Up close cameo + care question

Hello all! I posted earlier in the week about getting a jewelry box of baubles that belonged to my great aunt, and I've finally had some time to sit down and get some better pictures.

SO, here is this gorgeous cameo "set" (not 100% convinced they belong together since the earrings are facing differently/not the same iteration of woman ie flower in her hair?) that can be both a brooch or a pendant. The woman appears to be the Roman style, with the straight nose, but I'm totally out to sea with this so I may be wrong!

I can't find a signature or maker's mark, but I am very intrigued by it! I'd like to clean the setting up but am worried about damaging the piece--are there any household things that would be safe to use? Would a steamer hurt it?

Thanks for any advice!
